John 7:1-8

Jesus Teaches at the Feast

1 After these things Jesus 1was walking in Galilee, for He was unwilling * to walk in Judea because 2the Jews 3were seeking to kill Him.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, 4the Feast of Booths, was near.
3 Therefore His 5brothers said to Him, "Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your 6disciples also may see Your works which You are doing.
4 "For no one does anything in secret when he himself seeks to be known publicly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."
5 For not even His 7brothers were believing in Him.
6 So Jesus said to them, "8My time is not yet here, but your time is always opportune.
7 "9The world cannot * hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that 10its deeds are evil.
8 "Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because 11My time has not yet fully come."
